Our First Reading story is going to focus on the Orphan Trains. We will be reading a story on a young girl who's family decided not to keep her, and her voyage to a new home out west. As we read this story, ponder these questions:
How would I feel without a family?
Would going on the Orphan Train be a good thing or a bad thing?
How do I feel at each stop along the way?
After Reading the story, listen to the song below. How does this song relate to the story we read? What is the tone of the song?
We will also be watching the PBS movie on Orphan Trains to find out more information on this please click on the PBS icon.
